Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 344 The Centurion

There are many things about Ying Yuan.

But Li Tong couldn't tell all of them.

Because, if all his deeds were told, it would take at least three days and three nights to tell.

What is embarrassing is that the high-spirited champion Hou has now become the old prince respected by the world.

"If this battle was led by your father, then it might have ended long ago."

Li Tong sighed slightly.

Ying Qing was puzzled, and asked curiously, "Could it be because my father is very good at leading troops in battle?"

Li Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not the case, but because once your father comes here, that Chi Dan probably won't have the intention to go south."

Ying Yuan's deterrent power is beyond doubt.

The whole world depends on his face.

After this battle, Ying Qing had a deep understanding of the strength of the alien race.

And Li Tong also believed that he had the mind to command a hundred people.

As a result, Ying Qing became a centurion of the Great Qin with honor.

Of course, this position was originally obtained because of Ying Yuan.

However, in that encounter, Ying Qing's strength was also recognized by Li Tong.

This is just a springboard for him.

In fact, having said that, Ying Yuan didn't expect him to make many meritorious deeds when he asked him to go to the northern border. This campaign was just to let him understand the war.

If he can't lead these 100 people well, then how will he lead the hundreds of thousands of troops in Qi County in the future?
Only after going through the war will he not do things like Zhao Kuo's on paper in the future.

It seemed that there was no winner in that encounter, but in reality Chi Dan had already lost.

In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat to the Yinshan area and prepare to stick to it for the time being.

When the alien races that Meng Tian is facing form a cohesive fighting force, he will unreservedly send all his troops to the south, trying to capture Yanmen, and even if it doesn't work, he will also take down Yunzhong County. Combat to form a broad strategic depth zone.

Of course, this is just his beautiful fantasy.

Because as they retreated, Li Tong had already begun to advance in an all-round way.

The middle area between Yunzhong County and Yinshan Great Wall.

Li Tong chose a relatively deep canyon as his base camp.

At this moment, the generals and soldiers of the Qin Army were all gearing up, wanting to fight to the death with the alien enemy.

According to the usual practice, Ying Qing, as a centurion, also handed over the invitation to fight.

This approach is to raise the general's heart to a certain height.

In the military account.

Ying Yuan followed Li Tong to learn strategy.

The latter is analyzing the situation with the former.

Suddenly, Li Tong thought of something, and asked with concern: "You, a centurion, just took office, what troubles did you encounter?"

Ying Qing quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle, but nothing major happened."

"So good."

Li Tong smiled and said: "The 100 people given to you are all good soldiers in the army. They can serve as any type of arms, and they have done a very good job. Among them, there are two people who were brought over by the prince from Longxi back then. old soldier.

With them on the battlefield, in critical moments, they can save your life. "

With all his efforts and calculations, Ying Yuan brought him from Longxi to Xianyang. There were at least 23 troops. Now, those old soldiers who are still in the army all bear important responsibilities.

Each of the two old soldiers sent by Ying Qing's side was qualified for the position of centurion.

"I've met the two of them, it's very good, they are very respectful to me, and know my true identity."

Ying Qing said lightly.

He would not refuse Li Tong's kindness.

Sometimes, this is actually a tendency to enhance mutual relationship.

"I told them that they knew your identity, but you can rest assured that they will not reveal your identity to others."

Li Tong said with a smile.

After they knew that Ying Qing was a descendant of Ying Yuan, they showed him far more respect than their superiors.

Because in the eyes of the two of them and even all the veterans in Longxi, Ying Yuan was an insurmountable belief.

"Uncle's kindness, I appreciate it."

After a pause, Ying Qing said: "General, now that our soldiers are strong and strong, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue them, take down Yinshan Mountain in one fell swoop, and drive those barbarians out of the country?"

In the past few days, he has been thinking about going to the battlefield.

Ever since he experienced the blood of a war, he is hard to forget.

The longer he stayed in the army, the more Ying Qing respected some of the rules in the army.

For example, he used to call Li Tong 'uncle', but now, the number of times he calls him 'general' has increased.

After all, there are many people in the army, and many names are extremely inconvenient. Moreover, there are military rules in the army.

"Do you know Meng Tian?" Li Tong asked.

Ying Qing frowned slightly, and said with a frank smile, "Naturally, I have some understanding. After all, I followed him to encircle and suppress the Mohist rebellion. General Meng is loyal to Da Qin."

Li Tong nodded and asked again: "Then do you know your uncle, His Majesty the Emperor?"

This question was a bit big, and he didn't know how to respond, and his eyes immediately froze.

Li Tong continued: "You said that he is loyal to Great Qin. This is true, but his loyalty to His Majesty far exceeds that of the empire. When foreign races invaded, Your Majesty asked this person to join me in defending against foreign enemies. In fact, he wanted to take advantage of this Opportunity to weaken the strength of our army.

Because in the eyes of His Majesty, even though I have left Qi Palace, in the final analysis, he is still not at ease with me. Once there is a chance, His Majesty will definitely let Huan Yu or Li Xinzhi take my place. "

In the military tent here, there are only the two of them.

So Li Tong dared to say certain things.

Ying Qing fell into deep thought.

He probably understood the meaning of the other party's words.

If Meng Tian came to Northern Xinjiang to help His Majesty weaken Li Tong's strength, then this war with alien races might not be so simple.

Once upon a time, he heard his father and king say that any war would have certain political factors.

This is something that cannot be avoided.

"General, what do you mean to say that the reason why the army under General Meng Tian has not attacked the aliens is because they want to take all the credit when our army is exhausted?" Ying Qing asked tentatively.

Li Tong said with a sad face, "This possibility is not ruled out."

At present, the biggest problem of the Qin army is that the two commanders are unwilling to take the lead in launching an attack on the alien race, because such an approach will affect the whole body.

"If General Meng Tian really had such selfish intentions, how could he send us tens of thousands of Golden Fire Cavalry?"

Ying Qing was very surprised.

Li Tong said disapprovingly: "Do you think it is a good thing that these tens of thousands of golden fire cavalry are handed over to us? You know, once some changes happen, these tens of thousands of people are enough to change a lot of things, and they are still Qin. The country's most elite heavy armored cavalry."

Ying Qing subconsciously nodded.

Now he finally understands why his father always said that Li Tong was too selfish when he was fighting.

Looking at it now, it is indeed too selfish.

He didn't believe that a generation of generals who served the country and the people would really put to death the 10,000+ armored soldiers in northern Xinjiang.

What's more, in addition to this, they also have countless civilian husbands. They are also good at dealing with foreign races with weapons.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor Qi Wangfu is a person related to King Qi, and he is born with colored glasses to see it, then it will never push so many national defense troops in northern Xinjiang to the cliff of death.

In the end, it was Li Tong who cared too much about his current status and didn't want any mistakes or losses.

He regarded the national defense troops in northern Xinjiang as his own private property, a barrier to ensure that his status would not be lost.
